We Praise Thee, Lord, with Earliest Morning Ray

We praise Thee

Lord

with ear­li­est morn­ing ray;

We praise Thee with the glow­ing light of day:

All things that live and move

by sea and land

Forever rea­dy at Thy serv­ice stand.

The na­tions all are sing­ing night and day

Glory to Thee

the migh­ty God

for aye!

By Thee

through Thee

in Thee all be­ings are!

The list­en­ing earth re­peats the song afar.

Thy name is great

Thy king­dom in us dwell;

Thy will con­strain

and feed and guide us well:

Guard us

re­deem us in the ev­il hour;

For Thine the glo­ry

Lord

and Thine the pow­er!
